Got blocked for ten minutes

TitleGot blocked for ten minutes for leaving a game because my 3rd went AFK. Was about to lose anyway, how about permaban AFKs from ranked play you dumb __________ instead of punishing me or saving time.

  • Yep last time i checked i had a AFK teammate and my other teammate picked up my banner and died.
    I had to wait till my afk teammate died by the zone before i could leave :D

    bad memories.

  • @CtrL4LT How do you know the AFK player did not get DC'd? It does happen. I think a permaban for being DC'd is a bit extreme. The 10 minute ban was avoidable, it is not the end of the world to sit there for 1 minute and let your banner expire.

    In my opinion, the benefits of having a leaver penalty far out weighs taking it away. I can frequently come in clutch and recover banners. Before they implemented the leaver penalty, I would frequently squad wipe the team who downed my mates. Have plenty of time to respawn them and get their loot back.. Only for them to leave in a fit of rage. Which would leave me in the difficult position of playing through a ranked match 1vs3. If they would have waited just 1 minute it could have translated to a win or at the very least more kills and more RP.
  • @CtrL4LT In Valorant, leavers penalty and AFK penalty is very strict. It's implemented in casual modes too. It not only bans you for a period of time but also inhibits your progression in the game. So bye-bye leavers and AFKers.
